Toys"R"Us

“NOD is a highly valued partner for Toys’R’Us. Their expertise and professionalism was instrumental to securing highly committed people for our team. NOD understands the challenges of the business environment, and takes an extremely collaborative approach to innovative human resource strategies…”

“In advance of Holiday 2014, Toys’R’Us hired over 100 employees in our Distribution Centers across the country through our Differently-abled Hiring Initiative (DHI). As has been the case since our pilot program began in 2012, our differently-abled employees performed well, were dedicated and committed to their duties, and have proven extremely reliable. As a result, various employees hired through our DHI last year recently secured permanent positions with our company following the holiday season – at a rate more than 3 times the rate of our average conversion.”

“More importantly, the general sentiment from our Distribution Center management team is that individuals hired through our DHI helped to foster improved communication and teamwork throughout our network. National Organization on Disability was an instrumental partner in our success, and we could not have done it without their support.”
